Thistle Lodge Beachfront Restaurant

The view overlooking an expanse of green lawn to the sea draws fans here. Inside Sanibel’s Casa Ybel Beach Resort, the restaurant recreates a historical restaurant from pioneer days, but in its own time. The elegant, Victorian interiors and open-air patio make brunch, lunch or dinner a special occasion with exacting dishes in classic American-Euro style, like seafood Provençal and seared diver scallops topped with lobster and lump crab.
